If you want to get your advice from someone like that, go for it, aj. <BR/><BR/>Ask him about his porn sites, it was posted somewhere several months ago, I&#39;m not going to look it up for you.<BR/><BR/>Here&#39;s another example of ibofb&#39;s &quot;personality&quot;. It is a recent posting on his blog where he threatens someone with &quot;banning&quot; them, merely because he answered questions that were asked of him. ibofb knows his uplines&#39; tool scam system, even though it no longer exists in the UK, has ruined the reputation of Amway, as it should. So, he tries taking his frustration out on someone merely because they got excited about someone on ibofb&#39;s site asking a somewhat intelligent question, for a change. I doubt there are enough people looking at ibofb&#39;s site for that discussion to amount to anything except insignificant impact, but ibofb would rather turn off the discussion than learn how other MLM&#39;s are succeeding in the UK, while Amway has been an utter failure: <BR/><BR/>http://www.amwaytalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=271&amp;st=0&amp;sk=t&amp;sd=a&amp;start=60texnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395124008407193399.post-1735764162999118192008-11-22T11:17:00.000-06:002008-11-22T11:17:00.000-06:00Regarding ridiculous things that you said about IB...Regarding ridiculous things that you said about IBOFightBack, I was referring your claims about his sexuality, and you said that he runs a porn site.

Listen to Rich De Vos&#39; &quot;Directly Speaking&quot; recordings, and you will KNOW why it is Amway&#39;s fault. Basically, Rich knew about the tool scam, told the LCK&#39;s to stop the tool scam &quot;or else&quot;, and did not follow up with the &quot;or else&quot;, which means IBO&#39;s are being ripped off TO THIS DAY, A FULL QUARTER CENTURY LATER. <BR/><BR/>poor decisions + low motivation + credit card + some bad advice sprinkled in does not equal a problem with the company or even the concept. ---- The only &quot;poor decision&quot; I made was believing the LCK&#39;s weren&#39;t lying. I had and still have motivation and a credit card. The &quot;some bad advice sprinkled in&quot; is more accurately stated as &quot;institutional lying to scam IBO&#39;s via the tool scam.&quot;<BR/><BR/>this could happen to anyone in any business, or hobby for that matter...money can be blown on lots of useless things. ---- The problem is it happens to most IBO&#39;s in the Amway business, even though Rich is clearly on the record as being against it.<BR/><BR/>amway doesn&#39;t require that owners buy any of that crap, and after $16k if this person is not wise enough to know that they have a problem then it was a matter of time before a &quot;fool and his money are soon separated&quot;. ---- Why allow millions of IBO&#39;s to be scammed when you are aware of the scam? Amway doesn&#39;t &quot;require&quot; it, but they also turn a blind eye to the problem. I&#39;m not surprised, as Amway can&#39;t even follow their own written rules, which have been well documented on this and other sites.texnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395124008407193399.post-2491201502635585842008-11-20T13:42:00.000-06:002008-11-20T13:42:00.000-06:00QIACIAQ (quixtar is a cult is a quack), aka Bob Ha...QIACIAQ (quixtar is a cult is a quack), aka Bob Hart, <BR/><BR/>You are the husband of Susan, your wife who has been in California for over a year, living with her daughter (his step-daughter), an IBO. Susan takes care of the grandkids so mom and dad can build the business. She is very ill, but her beloved husband, Bob, refuses to pick her up.<BR/><BR/>Would you prefer "juicier" comments to attract others, like the e-mail below? This is the first in a series of many more to come. I love the part where he says Susan is supposed to be coming home by mid-October. Where is she, Bob? Plus, why are YOU in Evansville, Indiana? I thought you lived in Ohio?<BR/><BR/>Tex..<BR/><BR/>I'd rather the information about my wife's credit card problems remain more private. I don't mind telling you. I've told you before that my wife is very deceptive to even me about her bank account (which is still being raided to the tune of an average $180 per day in the last two month period). This is down from an average of $230 a day over nearly the past year. I get the bank statements. I believe the the credit card was account was canceled because my wife said she got tired of the bullshit, but then after she told me that a freaking commission check showed up here at the house for about $8 so I am left to think that my wife isn't always telling me the whole truth. I believe that my wife is secretly funding the Quixtar dreams. <BR/><BR/>My wife is supposed to come home around October 15th now. As I've told you before, I don't think her daughter is going to give up on raiding her mother's bank account until it is wiped out. Luckily my wife has a substantial amount of money left here in an account at home that she hopes to fall back on when she comes home. I believe the daughter is not going to stop badgering her mother until all the money is gone. What can I say. We are being Famwayed for real. If the bank account and the credit accounts were in my name, I'd have put an end to the "money extracting" bull shit this gal and her hubby are running on this woman who happens to be my wife! What should I do, just give up on her? <BR/><BR/>I do not kid you that her daughter and son-in-law have latched onto her in cult like fashion and are fucking her over and by way of her fucking me over as well. Maybe this gives you a thrill. I want to shy away of saying too much online because of her daughter reading the blog in secret. <STRONG>That is the major reason I started writing the blog to help pull these folks out of their stupidity</STRONG>. The daughter has already gone through all the money she and her husband inherited (that she didn't really inherit). They use as much psychological bull shit on my wife to pull her to make her a conflicted mess of a human being. I don't kid around when I describe the dirty way these people are operating. <BR/><BR/>The daughter didn't want anything to do with her mother for nearly two decades until Sue inherited a small fortune from her mother. The daughter tried to have her grandmother declared insane and take control of her money before she died. My wife promised her mother that her grand daughter would not see a cent of her money, but she was given half by her very gullible mother, my wife anyway in hopes to get her daughter off of her back. So, now why do you insist that it is somehow my fault that the daughter is fucking both her mother and me around? My wife isn't an educated person, and is under very extreme manipulation and pressure from her daughter that leaves me home listening to my wife crying over the phone and telling me that her daughter and son in law have big fights and make her agree to stay on watching their children, mostly against my wife's desire to leave. It is probably going to be big struggle to get her out of this situation without my wife having a complete nervous break down. <BR/><BR/>You seem to forget that I told you most of this. It is one of those situations where I could pull my hair out with my wife's daughter and her fucking IBO con man of a husband. It was this retard that her mother absolutely hated and made Sue promise her not to give any of the money to the daughter. She did not want to see the son in law get a cent. The fucking daughter got involved even in the funeral arraignments and raided most of the money that was supposed to be going to the funeral home. Her mother ended up being buried like a bum that died down by the river so her daughter could take the off with the cash. Now. These people are in your wonderful business. <BR/><BR/>I'm not trying to say that everyone involved in Quixtar is as scummy as these folk. I just would be very skeptical about anyone representing this company which seems ready made for con men like the son in law and the upline weasel that tries to run their life. <BR/><BR/>I guess I had to get this off of my chest; do I feel any better, No. <BR/>--------------------------------<BR/>So, this is the so-called "leader" of the QCI (Quixtar Cult Intervention).

There are times when there are things that are not "nice", but need to be said. The Revolutionary War was based on things that were not "nice" to say, but true.
